Manchester City star Carlos Tevez will appear in court after his car was snapped speeding in Morecambe.

The Argentinian striker's vehicle was captured breaking the speed limit by a camera in the Lancashire seaside resort on on March 28.

Tevez, 28, appeared for the Blues' reserve side in the town that evening.

He is accused of not responding to documents sent to him by the police following the incident and has been summonsed to Lancaster Magistrates Court on November 26.

They are pursuing the striker for failure to disclose who was driving the car rather than speeding as that offence carries a six-point penalty rather than three.

The alleged speeding offence is understood to have happened in a 30mph zone.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "A 28-year-old man has been summonsed to appear at Lancaster Magistrates Court on November 26 in connection with an allegation of failing to provide identification following an allegation of speeding.

"The alleged offence happened in Morecambe on March 28."

The match was part of Tevez's comeback after he went AWOL following a row with Blues boss Roberto Mancini.

He played for 70 minutes, scoring a goal, setting up another and earning a penalty in a 6-1 romp.
Tevez was slapped with a three-point penalty last September when his Bentley Continental GT was snapped travelling at 38mph in a 30mph zone.

He was initially charged with failing to disclose who was driving the vehicle but that was changed to speeding after his lawyer persuaded magistrates in Oldham that he had not seen documents sent to him by the police.

It is understood that a different vehicle is at the centre of this probe.

A Manchester City source said that Tevez does not drive.

In September of this year the M.E.N. named a 'rogue XI' of north west footballers which featured a host of stars convicted of speeding offences.

Fellow Blues Michael Johnson, who was banned for three years after crashing his car while drunk and Aleksandar Kolarov, clocked doing 48mph in a 40mph zone featured.

City football development manager Patrick Vieira also made the squad after he was banned for six months for speeding on the M60.

Across the city's football divide we revealed that Rio Ferdinand was banned in September after being caught speeding on the same road three times in less than six weeks.

Also in September fellow Red Danny Welbeck was fined after he was snapped travelling at 82mph down Princess Parkway.
